lyrics

I've been this way
ferrel child full moon howlin baby
and ain't too
much wrong
when instincts call
can't constrict the blood strong

I ain't asking too much
'cept don't hold me chained up
wild style sharp claws them cut
set me free if you can't take my hot

A wolf in your doorway
Black bear in your safe place and I say that that's alright...it's alright
animal in me
to stay
and I say that that's alright

(cooly sit
in the dampness
hot strained breath
in and out
old papers
in the waste bin
half drank glass
lip stick stained
bang out
all the day's I have wasted
bang out
with a crack with a depth
that time I almost made it
(all time I will spend to reach that end)

This time
oh this time
the grass shakes
reveals your hiding place
I have your scent
burned in my head
too late
There is no escape
As my circle grows tight
hope no trap snaps my hide
it'd be tragic to find
you was bait for something hid behind



A wolf in your doorway
Black bear in your safe place and I say that that's alright...it's alright
animal in me
to stay
and I say that that's alright
